Chapter 6 — I Just Take Back What Belongs To Me

Tran Hao completely collapsed. He jumped up, almost screaming.

"No! I don't rely on my wife to live!"

"The money I earn goes back to my family!"

"It's her... it's her spending too much money..."

Khuong Vy immediately interrupted.

"Mr. Tran."

"Bank statements don't lie."

"After each salary is transferred to the account, in less than a week, most of the money has been withdrawn or transferred."

"Meanwhile, his spending history shows that the money was mainly used at high-end restaurants, designer stores and overseas transactions."

She brought up each document.

"This is a receipt for August 2023 at a branded store."

"One payment of 45,000 yuan."

"This is an invoice for January 2024 at a high-end restaurant."

"One payment of 8,000 yuan."

"This is an overseas spending transaction in March 2024..."

Every expense... Points to the same truth. Tran Hao's money... Was all spent on Chu Nha. Khuong Vy continued:

"Meanwhile, Ms. Lam Niem's spending history shows..."

"The main expenses are home loans, electricity and water bills, management fees and daily living expenses."

"The average personal spending per month is less than 2,000 yuan."

The entire courtroom was silent. A needle dropping can also be heard. I quietly looked at Tran Hao. For 5 years... I saved every penny. Want to buy yourself a set of clothes... You have to hesitate for a long time. And he... Brought money to pamper another woman. Khuong Vy looked towards the Trial Council.

"Dear Jury, the defendant's actions have seriously violated the common property of husband and wife."

"The plaintiff maintains all lawsuit claims."

After the trial adjourned... Tran Hao's lawyer proactively sought out Khuong Vy.

"Lawyer Khuong, can we talk a bit?"

"Talk about what?"

"Reconcile."

He said:

"My client agrees to return the house to Ms. Lam Niem, but hopes that her side will waive the request to divide other assets as well as compensation due to marital fault."

Khuong Vy turned to look at me. I gently shook my head. She smiled.

"My client does not accept mediation."

Having said that... She turned around and left. Tran Hao's lawyer stood frozen in place. Fourth trial. The focus of this trial... Is the transfer of title to the house. Khuong Vy submitted decisive evidence to the court. Timeline of property transfer. She pointed to the document.

"Dear Jury, please note this timeline."

"The date Mr. Tran Hao transfers the name of the house to Ms. Chu Nha is September 15, 2024."

"Meanwhile, the date my client Ms. Lam Niem officially filed for divorce is September 28, 2024."

Khuong Vy turned to look at Tran Hao.

"In other words, Mr. Tran Hao knew clearly that the divorce was about to happen, so he quickly transferred the house's name to a third person."

"This is typical behavior of intentionally dispersing common property of husband and wife."

The judge frowned slightly, flipping through the file pages. Tran Hao's lawyer immediately stood up to object.

"This is just a coincidence of timing."

"The fact that my client transferred the house's title was entirely due to personal reasons, not related to the divorce."

Khuong Vy burst out laughing.

"Personal reasons?"

"Please ask, is there any personal reason why a person would voluntarily transfer a house for free? house worth 3,800,000 yuan for the person you had an affair with just two weeks before being sued for divorce?

Tran Hao's lawyer immediately became speechless. Khuong Vy continued.

"Dear Jury, according to Article 1092 of the Civil Code..."

"If one spouse commits acts of concealing, transferring, selling, destroying or squandering common property, when dividing the property after divorce, that party may receive less or no division."

She read each clause clearly. Then continue:

"In addition, according to Article 154 of the Civil Code..."

"Civil transactions established by the parties' intentional collusion to infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others will be declared invalid."

Khuong Vy looked at Chu Nha.

"She knew clearly that Mr. Tran Hao was a married man but still accepted the house to be transferred to his name for free."

"This behavior is enough evidence to determine that the two sides have intentionally colluded."

"Therefore, the transfer of title to the house should be declared invalid."

Chu Nha's face was pale. Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped up.

"I don't know!"
